EFFECTS OF PROHIBITION.

This is the last day on which "bOOZe"
of any character known to the W. c. L.
U. can be sold by law in any of fifty of
the counties of Dakota voting for
local option. The only sale ex-
cepted is for medicinal, mechanical
and Sacramental purposes, subject to
individual permit. There is much in
terest felt, not only as to the effect of
the attempts to enforce the law in the
towns and cities where sentiment does
not run strongly in that direction,
as regards the habits of the peo-
pie whose ratiOns are involved, but
as to the effect upon business
and general prosperity. 1t is be-
ginning to appear that many of the cap
italistS in the East and foreign lands,
who have been sending money so freely
to Dakota. do not look favorably upon
the sections where prohibition is sought
to be enforced, and hesitate to send their
capital there for investment. A letter
is published from the head of one of the
largest loan companies in Boston, giving
the reasons at length why they prefer
TO invest in Minnesota and Nebraska to
Dakota, Iowa and Kansas. tits asserted
that property, especially farm lands, de-
preciate in prohibition regions. But,
whatever the reason, it is certain that
number of the loan agencies in Dakota
allege that no funds are being sent them
to be put out upon any kind of security.
Capital is proverblally timid, and it may
be that stronger term is applicable in
such instances, but the fact is noted
only as part of current history. 1t is
also given out that, in some of the cities
at least, insurance companies are, to
some extent. canceling or reducing their
policies. But it is too early to diagnose
satisfactorily the moral, bibulous or
business aspect of the new departure
which is to be inaugurated tomorrow.

JAMESTOWN, Dec. 9O.-Postmaster
Klaus, the indomitable guardian of
Jamestown's interests and champion
builder along the Northern Pacific, is at
present at Milwaukee spending the

one man does jamestown owe so much
in the way of improvements as to Anton

ment advocate hardly with an equal

THE FARMER SENTIMENT.

Those who are interested in sizing up
political sentiment in Dakota upon ma
tional questions will do well to note
the declarations of the representative
body of farmers lately convened at
Huron. Their views embody the senti-
ment of the producers of the territory
en- masse. They are decidedly in favor
of tariff reform, and of dispensing with
a bounty system that enables the few to
fatten at the expense of the many, and
gives opening for trust combinations
and mOnopolies of all sorts. They real
ize that their interests are not with those
who indorse the enunciations Of the

FavOrs a Reduction.

PIERRE, OAK, Dec. 30.-The report
that Sitting Bull would go to Washing
ton to labor against the passage of the
Dawes bill, opening the Sioux reserva-
ton, is false. Running Elk, the trusty
aid of Sitting Bull, who was in the city
yesterday, says that Sitting Bull and
most of his people favor a reduction of
reservations. While some chiefs may
visit the capital this winter, it will not
be to oppose the bill, but to look after
other matters. Running Elk and his
people desire land in severalty. He
says they must raise stock and learn
the ways of the whites.

~
Republican politicians in Dakota are
making up their programmes already,
and talking just as if they had the plums
in their grasp ready to divide. They
calculate to get in as whole and then
have the legislature do the division act.
The, Democratic house at Washington
will likely have something to say about
this, and it is not to be presumed that
they will leave any of the bars down.

Ex-Attorney General ALEX HUGHES
seems to be a convenient sort of man to
have lying about loose in Dakota. He
can furnish decisions to order on the
shortest notice, and wish them to meet
the exigencies of the occasion.
~
The reservation should be opened at
once. When Senator ID IVES reads
about the way cemeteries have grown
and tiourshed under half-breed rule, he
will undoubtedly rush the bill through.
There may be some more of them.

BLUNT, Dec. 30.-The people of Brit
ton township, this county, were cOnsid
er ably agitated over the intimation a
day or so ago of the shortage of their
township and school treasurer, S. S.
Williams. His accounts show him to
be delinquent to the extent of about
$500, $3.50 of which is school money. He
has only held the office about one year;
is Woodworking, industrious citizen,
with large family, and generally
recognized as honest in every respect.
With no eXtravagant habits, no out
ward appearance of prosperity, the dis
position of the funds is mystery to his
townspeOple. His bondsmen are good
men-R. w. Beebe, banker. of this city,

farmers in the cOunty-and it is prob
able the matter will be fixed up without
prosecutions.

A Problem About Liquor.

Special to the Globe.
CHAMBERLAIN, Dec. 3O.-The ques-
ton of high license is agitating the peO-
pie of this city at present. By an act
of the last legislature the maximum is
fixed at 81, 900. The saloons are paying
5000 at the present time, one-third of
which goes to the county. The temper<
ance people want the maximum license
and are working the city council to that
end. 1t will be decided the first of the
year. Chamberlain, Sukwana and Kim
ball-three towns in Brule county, OH
the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road-are the only places
where saloons are allowed after Jan. 1,
between the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers. The result is, when passengers
alight at those points they are thirsty
and must proceed to assuage. That is
given as one reason why the license
should be raised. 1t is claimed that
should the Dawes bill pass, Chamber
laid would be overlooked with saloons
at the present license, while if it was
put to the utmost limit it would tend to
decrease the number, which is, no
doubt, correct. But would it not raise
the price of drinks?

he ace their way, while the unionists
will be equally eXacting. The Farmers
alliance propose to pin him down
squarely to their platform, which will
cause him to be knitted by the railroads,
elevators and other corporations, and
probably deprive him, if elected, of the
wonted cOurtesies of these institutions.
The prohibitionists will insist that he
cary their standard, and the vets will
gurgle woe in his ears if he forgetS

tie with whatever of party politics there
may be afloat, and it is given out in the
